Ingredients
  

Pastry:

Meyer Lemon Curd:

  • Zest from 2 Meyer lemons
  • 1 cup fresh Meyer lemon juice 4-6 lemons
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 4 medium eggs
  • Pinch of salt

Galette:

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing after each addition until the dough begins to come together.
  • Transfer the dough to a clean surface, shape it into a ball, wrap it in cling film, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Fill a saucepan with an inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, Meyer lemon juice, granulated sugar, butter, eggs, and a pinch of salt.
  • Place the bowl over the simmering water, ensuring it does not touch the water, and whisk continuously for 10–12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a curd-like consistency. Remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the chilled dough into a rustic, uneven circle, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the cooled lemon curd evenly over the center of the pastry, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border. Fold the edges of the pastry over the curd, pressing gently to seal the folds.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
  • Allow the galette to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar and lemon slices if desired.
